My first Hugh/Stephen RPS! Quite short, just kind of getting a feel for the pairing and audience, I suppose. It's dedicated to

peak_in_darien because she writes awesome H/S RPS and so inspired this fic.

TITLE: One Gigantic Joke
AUTHOR: Cuddlyfruit
FANDOM: Real life!
PAIRING: Hugh Laurie/Stephen Fry
RATING: PG-13, though not -that- bad, I don't think.
WARNINGS: RPS! Real person slash!
SUMMARY: They pass it off as one gigantic joke to the world.
DISCLAIMER: This is fiction, it never happened. I don't own Hugh Laurie or Stephen Fry, though I'd love it if I did. Never even met them.
NOTES: 382 words. This and my other fics can be found in my journal. Written while listening to Tainted Love by Soft Cell and Candy Man by Aqua. So any oddities are entirely their fault, because they caused the odd hysteria in the first place!

It wasn't as if the tension had gone unnoticed. It wasn't as if they were oblivious. It was obvious they felt it because they played off that tension, that attraction, all the time. In private, in public, on television. They flirted shamelessly then passed it off as one Gigantic Joke.

One Gigantic Joke.

Sometimes he wished it really was. He wasn't as good an actor as that, though, to simulate such relaxation and attraction where there was none. Stephen once said that his eyes revealed it all, told his secrets, professed his lies to the world. He sometimes wondered if Stephen could read that secret in his eyes, but it wasn't really even a question because they both knew the answer.

The whole world knew the answer to that question, even if it was one Gigantic Joke to them.

So when Stephen swept in and pinned him down to the couch, Hugh figured it was just another branch from the Gigantic Joke tree. When Stephen harshly pressed their lips together, Hugh figured that in a moment they'd fall apart. Emma would be standing stunned in the doorway and they'd wheeze with laughter at the ingenuity of their little Gigantic Joke.

It soon became apparent, however, that Stephen had no plans of drawing back. A quick peek proved that there was no one standing shocked in the doorway, because the door was firmly closed. At which point it sank in that there was a tongue at his lips. A quick gasp and the tongue was quite firmly in his mouth.

When Stephen finally did draw back, Hugh was feeling distinctly light-headed.

"Hullo, Stephen," Hugh finally managed to wheeze out, though the wheezing was most definitely not due to laughing. Proof of which was the sweet, vaguely Stephenesque taste on his tongue and lips.

"Hullo, Hugh." Stephen was looking very pleased with himself.

"Any hidden cameras around?"

"None that I know of."

"People hiding behind couches, chairs, randomly distributed trees?"

"If there are, then they would be exceptional players at Hide and Seek."

"So that kiss, Stephen. It was just for us."

"Indeed it was, Hugh."

A moment later, it was Stephen pressed down to the couch with Hugh quite firmly perched on top, and it was most definitely no joke, large or small.
